Pope fears Bush is antichrist, journalist contends - Church - journalist Wayne Madsden - Brief Article

WASHINGTON DC -- According to freelance journalist Wayne Madsden, "George W Bush's blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs and his constant references to 'evil doers,' in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations--the anti-Christ."

Madsen, a Washington-based writer and columnist, who often writes for Counterpunch, says that people close to the pope claim that amid these concerns, the pontiff wishes he was younger and in better health to confront the possibility that Bush may represent the person prophesized in Revelations. John Paul II has always believed the world was on the precipice of the final confrontation between Good and Evil as foretold in the New Testament.

Before he became pope, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla said, "We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel."

The pope worked tirelessly to convince leaders of nations on the UN Security Council to oppose Bush's war resolution on Iraq. Vatican sources claim they had not seen the pope more animated and determined since he fell ill to Parkinson's Disease. In the end, the pope did convince the leaders of Mexico, Chile, Cameroon and Guinea to oppose the U.S. resolution.

Madsen contends that "Bush is a dangerous right-wing ideologue who couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult."

purification by Carol Wolman

Dear Friends,

 

Thinking Americans are starting to wake up to the fact that the US has been taken over by a satanic coalition, a corporate cabal in league with a psychotic suicidal cult.  The latter has the people hypnotized, while the former plunder to their hearts' content.

 

What makes the combination so lethal is the rulers' false claim to represent Jesus Christ.  They use terror- of nuclear war, of ecocatastrophe- of "evildoers", Muslims, starving people in other countries- to make Americans feel hopeless about saving the planet.  Then they offer a way out- "the rapture"- which will make saving the planet unnecessary and contrary to the will of the god they worship, who is actually satan. 

 

It's simple.  God tells us to choose life.  The Bible is the book of life.  Satan led Adam and Eve into death, and now he wants to extinguish all of humanity.  Satan has offered the American people the apple of consumer goods, SUV's, and a way out of shame and guilt.  Just believe in the rapture and you will be spared the tribulation.  According to a Gallup poll, 1/3 of American voters believe this tripe.  How convenient!

 

Jesus came in the flesh to show us that God honors the flesh, and Jesus gave us the ritual of communion to show us that feeding our flesh is a holy act.  Jesus gave us a prayer that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  This is not the teaching of a god that plans to destroy human life on earth.

 

Americans need purification from false ideas and false values.  Jesus stands for ascendance of spiritual values over materialism.  Jesus stands for the unity of all humanity, not the dominion of one nation over all others.  Jesus stands for loving one's enemies, not hating, torturing and slaughtering them.  Jesus came to bring peace, not endless war. 

 

Americans need a lot of purification, to rid themselves of false notions.  A lot of people are going to be very surprised when Jesus shows up again.

 

But who will endure the day of His coming?
And who can stand when He appears?
For He is like the refiner's fire,
or like the fuller's lye.

Malachi 3: 2
